I haven't touched any games from the series since. Didn't like it then... can't see why I'd like it now. If this game comes out for the 360 some time towards the end of 2009 or maybe even in 2010, I don't see why anyone should care. If Gears of War (the first one) comes out for the PS3 in 2 years time is anyone going to rush out to buy it? I seriously doubt it. Give us MGS5 Konami and I might consider buying it.

But it was all smoke and mirrors. The actual gameplay was paper thin, themeatically it was broken, the setting was underused but most people were distracted by the art-deco smoke and mirrors and enjoyed the game. Good for them. Second coming of narrative gaming? No. Many people have said MGS4 was crap. In my experience they've generally been detractors the the series anyway. Which is fair enough. Franchise installments don't often go out of their way to radically change things in order to scoop up new fans. (Although, to be fair, MGS3's cold-war gadgets were interesting and cool and the FF series usually makes one or two significant core mechanic changes each iteration). Franchise installments are pretty much: If you like this sort of thing then this is the sort of thing you will like. I love whole absurd/serious yin/yang-ness of MGS so I'm happy with MGS4. I wonder if they'd have legal/licensing issues with running the flashback at the start of Act 4 on a non-Sony platform though. Heh. I liked Bioshock enough to complete it.
